I would be interested in participating in this campaign. If approved, I will be building one of these. Probably the “Marder”.
Would a manned torpedo be allowed? Since it isn’t a vehicle carrying a torpedo I thought I would ask.
Thank you,
Randy

Sounds like a plan for first catch of 2026 … Now I need to find some fish, so the subject is yet TBD …
Groan! You must be a dad too.
O.K., so that will be a Douglas TBD Devastator then… What scale are you thinking?
Cheers,

Ok was looking at either a MTB or early TBD that’s Torpedo Boat Destroyer not the aircraft but then a rattle of the old grey matter reminded me of the IJN Torpedo cruiser Kitakami - 5 sets of 4 torpedo tubes on each side for a broadside of 20 torpedoes!
Now to find one.
Aoshima did Kitakami in 1:700 too, and that and the SkyWave were boxed as her sister “Oi”.
Cheers,

Thanks Tom, also found Fujimi did a fairly (last 10 years) recent new tooling but that is of her/him in 1945 fit with all but two sets of tubes removed, 100 x 25mm AA guns added and Kaiten carried. Although the Kaiten were human torpedos so I suppose that option still counts?
Sounds interesting, so I’m interested…
Well, TB…H I still haven’t decided yet, especially that I don’t have anything on my shelves that could fit into category… except FW190 TB version and Japanese cruisers
